What's the general consensus on storing bread? In a bread box? In the fridge? In a drawer? Room temp? Looking for ways to increase the number of days a bread can last for both store bought and homemade bread 🍞

Half joking... In absolute terms, - convert it to beer. Earliest forms of beer were basically leftover old bread left to ferment. It's not great by itself, and the natural CO^2^ smells green about like rising bread. You'll realize the effects of bittering agents like hops in commercial beer, but if you simply grind up old bread and either a wild ferment or add a little yeast to an air tight container with an air lock valve or sealed and burp it a few times, you can still access a significant chunk of those calories months or years later.
